The TV Academy and CBS are tapping some slightly new blood for the 2017 Primetime Emmys, signing Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner to executive produce under their White Cherry Entertainment banner.

It's a change of pace for the Emmys, which have been handled by Don Mischer for the last three years. Weiss and Kirshner round out a creative team toplined by host Stephen Colbert. The Late Show host signed on to serve as master of ceremonies in January, alongside his showrunner Chris Licht, who will also serve as a producer.

The 1991 Tony Award winner has signed on to host the 2017 awards ceremony, it was announced on Tuesday.

“We're excited to be working with a witty and charming host who is not only a Tony-winning actor and fan of live theatre, he's also a president who is a true champion of the arts,” executive producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner said in a joint statement.

In his own statement, Spacey acknowledged the later-than-usual host announcement in the most charming way.

"I was their second choice for Usual Suspects, fourth choice for American Beauty and 15th choice to host this year's Tony Awards. I think my career is definitely going in the right direction,” the 57-year-old actor hilariously joked. "Maybe I can get shortlisted to host the Oscars if everyone else turns it down."

Glenn Weiss will direct the Academy Awards ceremony for the second year in a row.

“As a veteran director of live television, Glenn has mastered both the technical and creative nuances that make for a dynamic, ‘in the moment’ viewing experience,” show producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd said in a statement on Wednesday morning. “We could not be more thrilled to be working with him.”

Weiss has directed countless televised events, including 16 Tony Awards shows, for which he has won three Emmys. He also helmed the “39th Annual Kennedy Center Honors,” “Billboard Music Awards,” “Bet Awards,” “Peter Pan Live!,” “Dick Clark’s Primetime New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest,” “Primetime Emmy Awards,” “Live from Lincoln Center,” “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular,” “Garth Brooks, Live from Las Vegas,” and the “American Music Awards.”

The film has been cleaning up for a while and last night, it snagged another big prize, as director Damien Chazelle took home the top honor (Best Feature Film) at the Director’s Guild of America Awards.

La La Land continued its march towards its expected Oscar success last night as the Directors Guild of America honoured Damien Chazelle with Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Feature Film at the 69th DGA Awards.

La La Land continued its charmed run through awards season, this time at the Directors Guild of America Awards. There, Damien Chazelle claimed the top prize, winning Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for the modern-day musical about two aspiring artists falling in love.

The recognition comes hot off of star Emma Stone picking up the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role and the film’s top honors at the PGA Awards and record-breaking seven Golden Globe wins, among other awards season accolades. Not to mention,
